Micke Grove Zoo is inviting the public to participate in a naming contest for its newest addition, a young male bobcat.

The contest is hosted by the zoo's website. No fee or purchase is required to enter a name idea.

The creator of the winning submission will win a large bobcat puppet and a private meal for five in front of the bobcat's enclosure sponsored by the Micke Grove Zoological Society.

The bobcat had been living at the Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center in Scottsdale, Ariz., after being rescued as a kitten by a wildlife rehabilitator. Having been housed in close proximity to humans, the young bobcat is too familiar with people to be returned to the wild.

Please visit the website contest page at mgzoo.com for rules on submission. The deadline is March 31. Have fun and be creative using some part of the cat's natural history, personality or cultural value in submitting a name for the bobcat.
